In some plants, the pistils don’t Form until a few days after the stamens do.How might this keep a plant from self pollinating

For a flower to be pollinated, pollen from an anther (which is located at the top of the stamen) needs to reach a stigma (at the top of the pistle.) Some plants are genetically capable of pollinating themselves if their own pollen reaches their own stigma; some plants are not capable of self pollination under any circumstances.

For plants that can genetically self pollinate, but would prefer not to, they can avoid this by having their pistil and pollen/stamens mature at different times. If the stamens mature first, the pollen will be dispersed by animals or wind or whatever dispersal mechanism it relies on. Then by the time the pistil is ready to be pollinated, there is no pollen left in that flower to land on the stigma.

An elephant and a mouse would both have zero weight in gravity-free space. If they were moving toward you with the same speed, w
Dovator [93]

The elephant and the mouse having zero weight in a gravity free space will not bump into you at the same effect.

<u>Explanation: </u>

When both are in a gravity free space, the weights are zero, as we know that the\text {weight of the body}=\text {mass of the body} \times \text {acceleration due to gravity}

\text {here, the weight of elephant}=\text {mass of elephant } \times \text {zero gravti} y=zero

\text {similarly,weight of mouse}=\text {mass of mouse } \times \text {zero gravity}=zero

But when they will acquire the speed of same magnitude, say v, their different masses will acquire different momentum, which will make the difference in effect while bumping.  

\text { momentum of elephant }=\text { mass of elephant } \times v  \text { momentum of mouse = mass of mouse } \times v

And as we know \text { mass of elephant }>\text { mass of mouse }  Therefore, effect of impact by elephant will be more than that of mouse . An elephant breaking into you will take you back faster than a mouse in space hits you.

A wire of resistivity ρ must be replaced in a circuit by a wire of the same material but four times as long. If, however, the to
Elanso [62]

Answer:

E. two times the original diameter

Explanation:

Resistance of a wire is:

R = ρ L/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length, and A is the cross-sectional area.

For a round wire with diameter d:

R = ρ L / (¼ π d²)

The two wires must have the same resistance, so:

ρ₁ L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = ρ₂ L₂ / (¼ π d₂²)

The wires are made of the same material, so ρ₁ = ρ₂:

L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = L₂ / (¼ π d₂²)

The new length is four times the old, so 4 L₁ = L₂:

L₁ / (¼ π d₁²) = 4 L₁ / (¼ π d₂²)

1 / (¼ π d₁²) = 4 / (¼ π d₂²)

Solving:

1 / (d₁²) = 4 / (d₂²)

(d₂²) / (d₁²) = 4

(d₂ / d₁)² = 4

d₂ / d₁ = 2

So the new wire must have a diameter twice as large as the old wire.
